Favorite thing: All the city is spotted by works made to give a sleek image of itself.

It is almost done... Square Piazza San Carlo is ready to be fully opened to the tourist just in time for the Olympic Opening.

The Metro has opened 4 days ago, and closed 2 days ago (just for maintenence, some trouble with the electric power system)

The main avenue are reopened to the traffic giving some relief to the locals (in 2005 there were plus then 1500 work on the roads of Turin!!).

And where the works are unfinished, were covered by red curtains in Olympic style. So nowadays you will see a lot of red boxes mushroomed in the city.

In the other pic, an update view of Piazza Vittorio, and the work for another undergound parking.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
